This song was recently posted, but it was in a format not easy for me to
play.  If the previous post worked for you, you should stop reading this
post now.

Basically, I wanted to be able to play this song without memorizing it,
and my ear is real bad, and my girlfriend wants it and is just starting
to play, so it had to be real easy.  Chords are printed with every line,
 You can skip the chords in (), and I moved the chords to where they
 sound right, not where the music says.  (this is SIMP format)

    What do you think of this format?  If you like it, then SIMP
    (Stupidity Induced Music Page) format is for you.  I SIMPed this song
    because I want to play the song without spending a lot of time
    practicing/memorizing it, my ear is not good, and I wanted it in a form
    where I could play it correctly the even if I had not practiced it for
    weeks.
       I'm trying to get several hundred rock songs in this format.  If you
       are interested in cooperating, please Email me.  I currently have
       20 or 30 songs in the SIMP format, which I have found easier to
       play than any other format I have seen.
       SIMP format briefly:
       A: Chords printed with every line
       B: It should be easily printable on 1 (sometimes 2) pages.
       C: Chord chart included.
       D: If some of the chord changes aren't really apparent, put them
          in () so that some players can skip them
       E: You should be able to play it really easily
Does this sound like something you are interested in?  If so, please
E-mail me.  If you're interested in bilaterally exchanging songs in SIMP,
I'll send you a list of what I have so far.
